What is the maximum amount you can withdraw from an ATM
I didn’t read about ATMs in the reviews. How many of them? Why do compatriots talk only about cash?

There are many ATMs around the city, a commission of 150 baht is charged from any amount. I know that at the Royal Cliff Hotel the maximum amount that can be withdrawn is 25,000 baht. Usually it is 20,000 at a time and 40,000 baht per day. There are terminals in restaurants and shops, but it is better to have cash on hand.

Yes, it’s easier with cash: exchangers are at every step and without a commission.

I took a credit card with me, decided for the sake of interest to pay for a purchase in Friendship - a supermarket of European products. The girl at the checkout swiped a card through the terminal, spread her hands, and began to tell me something in Thai. Her English is like my Thai. In general, we had a nice conversation and I paid in cash. At home, he clarified something like entering a pin code is an outdated concept in the world. There are a lot of ATMs, but how to swallow a card - to whom and what to tell? - did not dare. In general, the adventures of a kettle with a credit card :))) Take the card for insurance and warn your bank about the possible use in Thailand (the last one is for Ukraine, as in the Russian Federation, I don’t know).

Even on the ATM commission -% withdraws both your bank and Thai, your exchange rate - it is very unprofitable to withdraw cash.

bring dollars - large bills and everything will be fine

Or large dollars, or, if you are afraid of theft, traveler's checks. For them, by the way, the course is higher.

Hello everyone, I read the adventures of Oleksii64 and remembered my own. All the same, only a visa card with a pin code did not go through TescoLotus near the dolphins. Oh, and I ran through the streets in the evening to change money. because The banks in the shopping center have already closed. On the one hand, a card with a pin code does not go through the markets, and without a pin code, if they steal and use it, it’s not a holiday either.
Plus Thailand is a leader in card scams.
Conclusion: still cash, the main amount in the safe at the reception.
